You can't have Liberty wihout Liberation

Liberty, a word constantly repeated by our so called “Democracy”, a government supposedly by the people. But what is really liberty, is it just a word used to manipulate the masses, or does it mean something that is supposed to be about freedom and individuality? It would seem as if the answer is both. The Wikipedia definition of liberty is the concept of ideological and political philosophy that identifies the condition to which an individual has the right to behave according to one's own personal responsibility and free will. So does America truly have liberty? How can a nation profess liberty with such little rights and such little responsibility and free will? In a sense, liberty does indeed seem to just be another word, a word thrown around by judges, politicians, and police, to give people a sense of freedom. The same sense of freedom that telling people they have “rights” and giving people the ability to vote does.

What is liberty without individuality, what is liberty without personal responsibility, what is liberty without FREE WILL? It's nonexistent. It does seem funny, that a nation that professes liberty so much has so little free will. Where does this “free will” go when rioting, journalism, political prisoners, radicalism, conspiracies, political activism, anti-authority writing, drug use, liberation groups, and anarchist/primitive societies come into play? Where is our free will, our individuality, our freedom then? Look around, and see if free will exists in America. Liberty, does however, mean something, regardless of how little liberty Americans actually have. As stated above, it means the rights of man, the individual’s ability to take care of his or her own personal responsibility, and of course, free will.


It seems as if, one would make the connection that liberty can only be achieved by the individual directly taking control of his or her own life. For doesn’t it seem quite contradictory that the state, which is meant to hold laws and authority over people, is the one preaching about liberty? How can an organization preach about liberties, which in definition means free will, also at the same time hold authority over the people that it preaches free will to? This would seem hypocritical. It is in fact the state that takes away, not grants, people's liberty.

The only way to truly obtain liberty is by the individual taking direct control over their life, and the only way for the individual to take direct control of their own life is through liberation. The dictionary definition of liberation is the act or process of trying to achieve equal rights and status. You can’t have liberty without liberation. Of course, since the one thing that is stopping individuals from practicing their liberty is the state, this would mean liberation from the state itself. Only when a person is truly free, which is the ability for that person to take direct control of his or her own life, without any interference by government, police, politician, or judge, can that person then practice liberty. Liberation can only be obtained by the people, the citizens, or an organized group working together against the elite. Liberation is the start to liberty, to freedom, to free will, to man’s ability to directly take control of his or her own life, but it has to start with a rebellion from the people, people willing to take a stand against authority, a people who truly want to be free individuals, and a people who truly want liberty. It all starts with liberation.

3 verses

Here's some inspirational nihilist poetry for you:

1:
Show your face around my hood
I'll stomp your head in with my boot
What makes you think what you've been through is any excuse for failure?
Sorry to lash out
But I've got no time for you to spread your ill ways to my tribe...
BANISHED FROM EXISTENCE!

2:
You hate yourself, you hate it all
You think that you were born to fail
Fuck that shit!
We're made of stars!
Don't let anyone beat you down
Grow endlessly
Our reality, defined by purpose
That is up to us to choose
Only from chance can we lose
Only chance...

3:
Like a hammer to my balls
the Earth, smashed the fuck up
Be it an asteroid or a nuclear Armageddon
it doesn't matter
No survivors
No trace of our existence
Only remnants of civilization
satellites and radio waves
torturing distanct civilizations with pepsi jingles and sports statistics
what a legacy

A Little Lesson in Genetics

Have you ever heard the saying that vegans and vegetarians make, “Look at what Chimpanzees eat, they only eat plants, this means humans weren’t made to eat meat!” People, this is why it’s good to have a basic understanding in genetics and evolution, and from that, you can learn a little something about one of my passions, nutrition. Humans did not evolve from chimpanzees; they are our cousins, not our ancestors. So what does this mean? This means our diet should NOT be similar to chimpanzees. However, our diet should be similar to our ancestors, in short, the people we actually evolved from.

What did our ancestors eat? They ate lots and lots of meat, eggs, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. Certain other foods are good as well, such as olive oil, hemp oil, and fish oil. Our ancestors didn’t drink milk, and more and more modern research is showing that humans are not made to consume dairy. Other things that humans are not evolved to eat are grains, breads, starches, potatoes, or any carbohydrate/sugar source in high amounts. Mostly we should be eating things like greens when it comes to carbohydrate sources. This is called the Paleolithic Diet. This diet is specifically built around how our ancestors used to eat before modern civilization, and our genetic material is still mostly the same than even 40,000 years ago, we haven’t changed, and neither should our diets.


One of the main arguments I hear people say when trying to prove that humans are not made to eat meats is that we don’t have the digestive ability. However, all this “proves” as that they are not taking in enough fiber, which most Americans are low in. I am personally currently taking in 3 lbs of meat, 6 eggs, 12-16 ounces of greens, 4 ounces of nuts, 2 ounces of seeds, about 16 ounces of LOW GI fruit, 4 tablespoons of olive oil, and 16 grams of fish oil (keep in mind that part of the reason I eat like this is because I powerlift and recently started working long hours in a metal shop). How can I digest all this food, especially with such a large amount of meat and eggs? It’s simple; I eat a lot of fiber, most of it coming from greens. There are people out there who eat a lot more meat than me, most professional bodybuilders eat around 10 lbs of meat (these are people with amazing genetic digestion ability). And although this is also largely due to genetic ability, I believe most people would have absolutely no trouble taking in 2 lbs of meat daily, but the simple fact is people have bad digestion because of their poor dieting skills. So the answer shouldn’t in turn be that we, humans, aren’t made to eat meat, but the answer is, eat more fiber. I have TWO bowel movements every day. A healthy tip for you, if you don’t have at least one bowel movement daily, you have bad digestion, plain and simple.

MEAT, it’s the staple of the human diet, EAT IT! (And by that I don’t mean burgers and hotdogs, but steak, chicken, beef, fish, turkey, ham, you know, the real stuff). Also, drink your water people, fuck soft drinks!

Blind Addiction

*I'm not straight edge, but this is how I really feel, I constantly see people using excuses for the reasons why they use drugs, rather than admitting that drug abuse is a way of covering up sadness/depression/boredom. I haven't really wrote much poetic/lyric stuff either, so who knows how good this is.*


Blind Addiction

You tell yourself it’s ok
You say you smoke weed every day
Because it’s harmless
You say you smoke tobacco
Because it relieves stress
You drink on the weekends
With the excuse that
You hang out with friends
You drink coffee in the morning
Because you can’t sleep at night
Stop lying to yourself
You know it’s just a crutch
You use these drugs
Because you can’t fucking deal with life
Going through day to day
Because you can’t handle the pain
Your life sucks

Random Stand Up Material I'm Working On

*I don't know why the bottom ones are in black lettering, but I can't seem to change the print color, sorry*

Cartoons and Immortality

I think I’ve figured out how to live forever. Everyone knows Mickey Mouse right? Well Mickey Mouse was made in what, the 1920s? I bet you the people who created Mickey Mouse are dead now. Hell, maybe even their kids are dead. And now 90 years later you and I still know who Mickey Mouse is, but we don’t know nor do we give a shit who created Mickey Mouse. One day you and I will be dead, and our kids will know who Mickey Mouse is, and one day our kids will be dead too. One hundred years from now everyone will remember Mickey Mouse but no one is going to remember or care about you, your kids, or your grand children, but they sure will remember who Mickey Mouse. That’s why I’m creating a cartoon character of myself, that way everyone will always remember and love me, but they won’t give a shit about you.

God is using you

You know how Christians always use someone who used to be a drug addict, and is now a saved ex-drug addict who gives other Christians or unsaved people advice about drug problems, as an example of being someone who is somehow being used by God as some sort of prophet to help others? Well what about those people that never get saved? What about people that never get off drugs? What about those people that die sinners and burn in hell? What about those people that die drug addicts? What about those people that die unsaved sinner drug addicts who burn in hell? I guess God just doesn’t care about everyone equally, OR maybe it’s just that your particular situation of drug addiction is nothing special, and you yourself are nothing special.

Music

Why do people think you care when they are singing the lyrics to a song? You know, when they are doing that shitty club dance move, looking dead into your eyes with that big stupid smile on their face, singing along with some shitty catchy song. Do they think that anyone actually cares that they know the words to some lame song? It’s bad enough that I have to sit around and listen to that fucking horrible song, it’s even worse when I have to listen to someone else sing along with that shitty song on the radio and then sit there and pretend like I’m slightly amused with a half assed grin on my face while thinking, “Shut the fuck up!”.

Politicians Are Celebrities

In my opinion I like Sarah Palin. If you think about it, politicians are nothing but celebrities. They go on stage and give people some sort of false hope that they are on your side by feeding into stereotypical beliefs. And at the end of the day when you're tired of watching the puppet show, at least Palin is good to look at.

Praying for Materialism

A Christian once came up to me and said, “If you just pray and worship god he will give you anything you want. If you need a car, he’ll give you a car; all you have to do is worship him.” And so I told him, “Well I don’t want possessions and I don’t want to worship god, so what can god do for me? I guess I’m just shit out of luck.”

Suicide

I hate when people say, "How selfish could he be to kill himself and not keep his loved ones in mind." Well obviously he didn't, because he uh, killed himself. I doubt his last few moments before death were, "geez, what about my mom and dad." It was probably more along the lines of, "Fuck life."

Blacks and Christianity

Don't you think it's a bit ironic when blacks are Christians? You know what I mean? I mean seriously, white man came to America with Christianity, killed the reds, killed the browns, enslaved the blacks, and bombed the yellows. And in a sense, Christianity is responsible for slavery, and because of slavery, there are a lot of blacks mixed in with the whites, and now all the blacks in America are Christians too. Isn’t that just a bit ironic? Well if you’re a little slow and don’t get my point, then look at it this way, if whites didn't take over the world; Christianity wouldn't be the number one religion. What if Muslims took over America? And Muslims then enslaved the whites. Then eventually the Muslims said, “Hey this slavery thing isn't such a good idea, maybe we should free the whites.” So now the whites are free, and 200 years later all the whites are now Muslims. What I’m actually trying to say is, how free are you really?

Fucking

If you want to fuck then go fuck and don't give a flying fuck what the fuck other people think about you… FUCK!

Sex Addiction

The worst possible addiction is sex. You can always kick things like heroin and tobacco. But you can't get rid of sex; you'll always be thinking about it and produce hormones that cause sexual arousal... unless you're a Christian.

Political Vegans/Vegetarians Rioting Factory Farms?

Some people are vegans/vegetarians for moral reasons, and although I disagree with that viewpoint, that audience is not what this essay is directed to. The people that this essay is directed to are the vegans/vegetarians who don’t eat meat because of the way factory farms treat animals. Now, although I do agree with the notion that factory farms mistreat animals, the question from that point shouldn’t be do we now not eat meat, but how do we stop factory farms from mistreating animals? It is indeed sad to say that just by not eating meat you are not changing anything, sorry, but that is reality. And before anyone gets angered by this statement, would you not rather look for a better alternative that actually does change how factory farms mistreat animals? Regardless of rather a few people in the world don’t eat meat for dinner; millions of others are still eating meat from factory farms and factory farms are still mistreating and being cruel to animals.

On a logical level I would simply ask people, what does not eating meat have to do with animal cruelty? This is the number one reason why it annoys when people say I would not eat meat if I knew how factory farms treated animals. No, if I knew how factory farms treated animals then I would try to shut down factory farms and make a better living arrangement for the animals. This is simply an illogical excuse for vegans/vegetarians to try and push their beliefs down other people’s throat.


So what’s the alternative? The alternative would be to take direct action. Direct action would be by doing things such as rioting factory farms, or maybe causing property damage to factory farms, or even by invading factory farms and releasing animals. Direct action is what changes things in the world, not sitting on your couch smoking a blunt and telling your friends not to eat meat because it’s immoral, that doesn’t change anything. I’m sure there are thousands and thousands of vegans/vegetarians in the world today, imagine if through networking all these people got together and started to riot factory farms, start trouble for the people who are mistreating animals. I am sure then you could get something done. And if you are vegan/vegetarian truly because you think it is morally wrong the way factory farms mistreat animals, and you are not a vegan/vegetarian simply for egotistic purposes, then I ask, would you not actually want to change something? DIRECT ACTION!

If this was the case and a vegan/vegetarian, instead of preaching to me why not to eat meat, instead said, “We’re going to go riot some factory farms”, then I would without hesitation fully support their effort. This statement is the statement of someone who is actually trying to change how something, a life, is being mistreated, instead of just trying to give me a worthless moral speech. Imagine if people said they were going to stop having sex to take a stance against rape, is that really going to change anything, or is actually punishing the rapist directly going to change the situation? I think you know the answer to this riddle. We as people need to rethink how we approach and how we think about factory farms, so I ask, are we going to simple sit at home and do the passive action of not eating meat (which is just about as meaningful as voting) or are we actually going to change something directly, with our words and our actions? People united can change something so inhumane, all it takes is a little effort, all it takes is a collective group working together to change what we all know is inhumane to a certain degree, and then and only then, will something actually be done about factory farms torturing animals.

A Quick Rap

“We are under a Constitution, but the Constitution is what the judges say it is” - Charles Evans Hughes

This quote certainly holds true for political prisoner Mumia Abu-Jamal, who has constantly been punished for the horrible crime of writing. Is not writing supposed to be a right given to us by our state? Of course, in people like Mumia Abu-Jamal's case, the fact that he wrote, or made his thoughts heard, has nothing to do with the fact of writing itself. Mumia Abu-Jamal is a political activist, and he has a poetic way of reaching into the soul of man with his speeches, he constantly questions the role of authority in a way the people sympathize with, and this, and only this, is the reason why the state tries so hard to silence this man's words. And to this I say, rather or not Mumia Abu-Jamal will ever be killed by the state, or no matter how unlikely it is that he will be given back his freedom one day, one thing the state cannot do is silence a man's words. Mumia, in this respect has my ultimate respect, no matter how hard they try, they will never be able to silence his words, and if you think it is all pointless, regardless of rather they kill this man or not, his words will live on forever, effecting if not thousands but millions of people for generations to come. To this I would echo to any authority figure, you can kill a man, but his mind, his mind you cannot kill.

I know that forever Mumia's words will be in my mind.
